TIME

MUCH better this week. Almost perfectly on the 26 hour mark, AND the making work part is just very slightly off the 50% goal too. I changed things a bit in terms of how I track it all. The light violet colour section is actually research, but it’s research dedicated to making work rather than academic reading around the weeks topic. Something I’ve been thinking and learning about a lot recently is the fundamental role research plays in the work we make, so now I treat it as an essential part of the “making work” process. Hence now I try to report it together with the purple “Making Work” sector. Those together make up the time I spend working on my own work. Research and physical.

ENERGY

Healthwise, a difficult blip on Thursday. I had to push myself on Wednesday for a collaborative project. It was a timely reminder that still life work can still be a drain on energy. I actually find it tougher than documentary because of the awkward positions you need to get into to adjust light and the set etc. It was surprisingly tiring. To be honest though, it was just a bout of insomnia on Wednesday night that hit me hardest.

Otherwise, I’ve managed my energy surprisingly well this week.
